Looking At The Sea

[Heine]

Looking at the sea
heine
(My tribute to that great German Krautrock Era of the 70s.)

each and every wave has got a story to tell
every grain of sand has got a secret captured inside
if they could speak
if they only could speak
to me

chorus:
when I'm standing here looking at the sea
special feelings appear inside of me
the world is wide - nowhere else I want to be
- and the moon gently turns the tide

each and every sea shell has got something to hide
every jellyfish that I'm looking through and yet don't know how he feels inside
if they could speak
if they only could speak
to me

chorus:
when I'm standing here looking at the sea
special feelings appear inside of me
the world is wide - nowhere else I want to be
- and the moon gently turns the tide

when I'm standing here looking at the sea
everything belongs together in perfect harmony
I feel its creator smiling happily
- and here, here I want to stay

Looking at the sea
Bad boys at bat mitzvahs
(my tribute to rednecks, and perverts everywhere)

I'm just sittin here lookin
Looking at the sea
But I get a funny feeling
Everybody's looking at me
Cause I ain't got pants on
Just These boots and long johns
I came to the beach to see things
I ain't seen before
Like girlies with no tops on
And cars that got four doors
But I ain't got pants on
Just these boots and long johns
Looking at the sea
Ain't all it's cracked up to be
Cause a sea ain't nothing but a big old lake, filled with salt.

[The sad song of a fish longing to escape his glass bowl into the sea that he can only see through the window. Or the sad disposition of a man who feels trapped in his circumstances with little to no hope of escaping unto the life that he knows he is supposed to have but cannot attain.]

i live behind walls made of glass
in a house beside the sea
but i've never seen the entirety of the ocean
i can only see the waves
from this dusty windowsill
and i wish that i could go there

looking at the sea
its close but it might as well be
far far away from here
looking at the sea
that's where i wish i could swim and be free
but i'm a small small fish

i live in a house
not the ocean
i am not free
i'm a captive here
i have never swam in the sea
but i know that i belong there
i know it with all my heart

Looking At The Sea
words and music by John Kloberdanz

(When I go)
Don't forget to wave goodbye
I won't pretend and tell you that I can stay
You can remember me
I won't be able to look back and see

All the beautiful things in the world around
I will be high above and you'll be on the ground

(When I go)
Do what you want to do
I won't be able to tell you what you should know
There won't be another word
All the arguing will end and anything else you say will go unheard

All the beautiful things in the world around
I will be high above and you'll be on the ground

You can remember me
Everytime you are
Looking at the sea

[fluffy]

If you find the sea
You won't come back to me
So please don't look at the sea

[Kris Miner]

Looking At The Sea 
music and lyrics by Kris Miner

Looking at the sea
Looking at the sun
Something so close
Something so far away
Wonder if you're gonna stay around
Or if you're gonna go away 
And leave me here
All the time invested
Are you gonna throw it away
Or keep investing 

Burning in my brain
Driving me insane

Looking at the sea
Looking at the sun
How can something so much bigger
Look so much smaller
I guess it all depends
On where you're standing
And what you're looking at
And how you choose to filter that data
What it all comes down to is
Can you be objective 

Burning in my brain
Driving me insane

The only thing I ever asked you to do
Was to look at things from my point of view
And maybe tell me what you feel inside
All the times I wasn't there for you
And the dreams I couldn't make come true
I know it's bad but it don't mean I never tried
At least I tried 

Burning in my brain
Driving me insane

The only thing I ever asked you to do
Was to look at things from my point of view
And maybe tell me what you feel inside
All the times I wasn't there for you
And the dreams I couldn't make come true
I know it sucks but it don't mean I never tried
I always tried
